~Victoria's POV
What is this man doing? I ask myself as I continue to watch his actions. My mind is telling me to run from this mad man, but my body is frozen.
"What's your name Il mio Tesoro?" (my treasure). Before I could reply to the man, I hear my best friend, Jessica, calling my name.
"Victoria Henderson! If you don't come right now, I'm driving away!" i snap out of my trance and apologize to the most handsome man before running towards Jessica's car.
I look back to see the man still staring at me as we make our way through the busy streets of New York. I hope I see him again, I think to myself as I see his figure disappear
It might sound weird, but I could've sworn I've seen those pair of eyes before, but I can't place my finger on it.
"How is the nurse studies going?" I hear Jessica ask. "It's going great, but the workload is tooooo much" I exaggerate to get my point across. "I feel you on the workload girl, these high school kids are so dumb!" Jessica whines, I laugh at her. Jessica is a history high school teacher and by the looks of it, she hates her job.
"You can't say that about your students, that's mean" I say trying to calm down. After my laughter dies down, Jessica speaks up again.
"What took you so long?" I mean how long does it take to get a book? " before I can answer, we pull up to my university." I'll tell you when you pick me up" I say exiting the car.
"Okay, enjoy school" I laugh as she drives off to get to her job. I walk into the huge university and start my day.
~Xavior's POV
"Kyle, I need you to search up a name for me" I speak to my best friend over the phone. "Yeah I got you, what's the name" he says, I hear movement in the background, probably him trying to get his laptop.
"Okay, her name is Victoria Henderson, she has dark brown hair and blue-green eyes" I wait for a response and after a minute or two I hear him speak. "Okay, I got something. Victoria Henderson, at the age of 16 got shot for protecting her mother during an open fire caused by the suspected gang " The knights". " he reads what sounds like a news paper article.
"When was it? I need to know!" I pressure him to rush, I get in my car and drive off to get home. "This article was written five years ago. Wait isn't this the girl you saved from Jackson's attack?".
"No problem bestie" he replies before the line went dead. Adrenaline pumps through my veins as I come to the realization that I've found her. And this time, I'm not letting her go.
As I reach my gate, I put in my code as well as my fingerprint to open the gates, the guards nod as a greeting but I ignore them and drive on. I'm eager to see what my Tesoro has done over the years.
I drive over the speed limit to get home. "Yes she is, I'm coming home, and when I get there, I want all her information on my desk."
"Kyle, what did you find out" I ask walking over to my desk to sit on my own seat, I look at the folder in front of me.
"All is in there boss" I take the folder and begin to read.
Age: 21 years
Guardian(s) : Emily Henderson (mother)
Charles Henderson (father) but went missing five years ago
Occupation: studying to become a nurse at NYU
Friend group: Jessica Rey
"Is she the one you're looking for Xavie" Kyle sits back while smirking at me, knowing how much I hate that name.
"I want you to fetch her after school and bring her here" I say getting up, ready to leave. "But what if she doesn't want to come?" Kyle asks me, I'm deep in thought, thinking of a solution, when nothing comes to mind I say the first thing I would normally do, " Then threaten her"
"Yes she is" I say through gritted teeth. "And I told you not to call me that." I slam my hands on the table. Kyle jumps in surprise at my sudden outburst.
I shrug of Kyle's shocked face and head to the kitchen. I ask the staff to prepare a delicious dinner for they were expecting a guess. I wanted everything to be perfect for her arrival.
~Victoria's POV
I wait outside the university for Jessica to arrive, but i see a black SUV coming up to where I am. I stand my ground thinking they are not here for me, but when two huge, dangerous looking guys come out of the van and head towards me, I make a run for it.
I hear them running after me trying to get me to stop but that just causes me to run even faster. I look behind me to see how close they were, but ended up tripping over a rock and hitting my head hard on the ground
The next thing I know, I'm phasing in and out of consciousness and being lifted up and placed in the SUV. The last thing I heard was a man say "We got her Boss" before everything went black.
~ Victoria's POV I wake up to a spacious and luxurious room. I look out the window to see that it is dark."How long was I out for?"I ask myself. I get up, but lay back down when an excruciating pain forms in my head. I find my phone on the sofa near the bed, but the battery is dead.I groan and try to remember what had happened earlier. I look around the modern looking room and realise that I'm not where I'm supposed to be. Panic immediately errupts through my whole body as I try to look for my phone to call Jessica. I find my phone on the sofa near the bed, but the battery is dead."where am I? Is anyone looking for me? Oh my gosh, I got kidnapped! What do I do!"All of these questions are racing through my mind causing my head ache to increase by ten notches. I see a door opposite t
~ Xavior's POV She remains quiet. I see her deep in thought and I take the opportunity to grab the gun away from her and put it back in my waistband. She looks at me with anger.Why is she angry? I think to myself as I wait for her to speak. "Where were you!" it takes me a minute to realize what she's talking about. "Baby let me explain" "Don't baby me! You said you would follow me! And when I woke up, they said you never visited me ones!" she screams at me pointing her finger to my chest to get her point across. I lift my hands in surrender to calm her down. "Look, I can explain, just let me explain... please" I beg. Feels weird, begging, but for her I'd get on my knees and kiss her feet for her to let me explain. "Start talking" she says in a serious tone, I find it amusing to see her inner strength come out, she will be a perfect queen for my w
~Victoria's POVWhen I'm done using the shower, I walk over to the sink and start removing the bandage, I see that my wound is mostly healed but there is a small blue bruise on my forehead.I start combing out my hair and French braiding it so that it doesn't tangle in the night. I dry myself properly and put on some deodorant that was provided in the bathroom.I start putting on his shirt and fall immediately in love with the smell. The shirt reaches my mid thighs. Next, I put his biefs on, it's too big to fit my waist but it sits comfortably on my hips. I struggle a bit to put on the sweat pants since the legs are too long.It's too big. It keeps falling down. I give up and take it off completely. I walk out of the bathroom and see Xavior on my the edge of the bed typing on his phone.He hears me and his eyes shoot up, he takes in my appearance and eyes my body u
~Xavior's POVI wake up due to the sun rays hitting my eyes. I look down at Victoria's sleeping figure laying comfortably in my arms. I brush a strand of hair that has fallen on her face. I watch her sleep. She looks so peaceful.I hear her groan. She's waking up, I pretend that I'm waking up myself so that she doesn't suspect that I was watching her.She pushes herself half way up and sees the position we're in. She blushes and makes a move to get off, but I hold her in place. "Good morning, angel" I tell her in my sleepy voice.She greets me and tries to wiggle herself out of my arms but I hold her tighter. "Why do you want to leave my arms so quickly?" I ask herShe covers her mouth with her hand and speaks "I need to pee" she says. I look confused at her hand over her mouth. She blushes again before speaking. " Morning breath" is all she says before breaking free and running to the bathroom.I laugh at her
~Victoria's POVI walk over to where everyone is and take a seat on the same sofa as Xavior. I'm waiting for Xavior to answer. Jessica speaks up. "So? Who is she? Because according to the tabs, you have been in a relationship with her for months?"I sit there in shock as I look at my best friend for knowing all of this information.Xavior speaks up to everyone "The whole situation with Amber was business only, our fathers thought that it would be best for our company if we merged two powerful names together. There was never love, just lust for power, but I was never interested in it because my heart belonged to someone else"He turns his head towards me at the last sentence and winks, I look down to hid my smile, but I'm sure everyone saw it.My mom gets up and speaks "I'm going to lie down, Xavior please stay over for dinner, I'd love to get to know you more" she smiles
Xavior's POVI get home to see what the situation is about. It better be an emergency otherwise I am going to loose my shit because now I'm not with Victoria.The guards let me in and I drive. I park my car in front of the house and I get out, I walk inside to see one of my guards jog towards me."What's going on?" I ask him as he stops in front of me. "Amber is here sir, with her father. They are in the office waiting for you sir." he finishes.I clench my teeth and dismiss him. I walk angrily to my office to find out what they were doing in my home. I open the door and see Richard and Amber sitting on the two seats provided, in front of my desk.They don't seem to hear me come in since they are deep in a conversation. I slam the door shut causing them both to jump in fright. I walk over to my desk and sit down on my seat. I intertwine my fingers on the table in front o
-Victoria's pov*Day before she moves in with Xavior (Friday) *"I can't believe this is the last day you're living with me. I'm actually going to miss you, but it's going to be nice to have some peace and quiet around here." Jessica tells me as she moves the last box out of my room and into the living room.She looks away deep in thought. She looks up at me with a sad smile." I'm sorry Vee but I don't know the answer to that. But if he hurts you or you feel somewhat uncomfortable I'm just a text away, I'd come pick you up. I hate the fact that he's so powerful and that I can't do anything to help you."She ends of and look forward. I stare at the wall next to the TV. A few minutes pass and I hear Jessica gasps and jumps up like she just got an idea. I jump in fright and look at her with my hand over my heart to calm my breathing."You almost gave me a heart attack!" I scream at her, she apologizes and sits back down on the couch, fac
~Victoria's POVWhen we get to Xavior's house, he pulls me out the car and drags me towards the house. My heart is racing because I cannot imagine what he has in mind.His long legs makes it hard for me to catch up with him in my heels. I don't want to tell him to slow down because that might upset him even more.We get inside the house and he pulls, more like drags, me upstairs. I almost trip over a stair case due to Xavior's unmanly speed. I see us making our way to his room. My heart races even faster.He opens the door and push me inside, I almost fall due to the strong force. He closes the door and I hear it click. Did he lock us in? I think to myself.He makes his way to the bed while loosinening his tie. He takes off his coat and jacket and places it on the sofa next to his bed. Next he removes his tie from his neck. Still avoiding me.I stand awkw
~Victoria's POVI head to my bedroom and strip out of my clothes. Once I'm on the bed, I cry for all the naive thinking that we could work.Just as I am about to fall asleep I hear a frantic knock on the door. Damn it, who is knocking at my door at this time? I put on Jessica's sweats and a over sized t-shirt and answer the door.I see Xavior standing there, before I could shut the door in his face, he pushes the door open and engulfs me in a bone crushing hug. "Please don't ever leave me like that again". When those words left Xavior's mouth, I start crying again."Baby please don't cry, let me explain please." I shake my head no. I am too tired to want to stay up and hear all about his drama. I have made plans to study and to get ready for my finals. I push him away and he looks confused and hurt." Xavior please leave, I'm really tired and I have a full day ahead of me tomorrow, I really cannot be distracted or stressed
~Victoria's POV"It's okay Xavior, I forgive you." I tell him honestly. I know that he will not be easy to handle, but I want to try this out because all relationships have there ups and downs. Wait, did I just say relationship?Xavior speaks up again, breaking me from my thoughts." I hope it won't be too much to ask if I could take you out on a date tonight?" he asks nervously.How could I say no to that. I nod which causes Xavior to display one of the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.We get out of the tub and dry each other off. I put on a bath robe and sit on the bed deciding in my head on what I should wear.Xavior comes out of the bathroom with a towel hanging low on his hips. I stare at his body in admiration. I look up at him to find him already looking at me.I blush and clear my throat. "So where are we going on our first date?" I ask him while trying to stop myself from smiling.
~Victoria's POVI look everywhere in awe at all the beautiful women and men training, pole dancing as well learning choreography.The whole atmosphere was dripping with confidence and hard work. Kyle leads me to one of the dancers that is, what I assume, taking a break.When she notices us, she smiles warmly at me. I return the smile immediately feeling her radiant vibes. She extends her hand out to me as a sign of greeting. "Hi there, my name is Isabelle, but my friends call me Belle." I shake her hand. "Hi, I'm Victoria"She smiles then turns to Kyle. "Is she a new recruit?" she asks curiously, Kyle shakes his head no. "No she's Xavior's girl" Isabelle looks at me shocked. I nervously laugh.She speaks up again "Well then what brings you here pretty lady?" she asks me nicely. "I wanted to check out the dancers since I'm too scared to start with training" I say shyly feeling like a chicken.She laughs and brings me
~Victoria's POVI wake up to the bright rays of the sun shining on my face. In any other morning I would've loved to wake up to such beauty, but the events of last night brought a horrible feeling to the pit of my stomach.The absence of Xavior's arm around my waist let's me know that he is no longer beside me. I get up, immediately missing the warmth and safety of the bed. I head to the bathroom and see a small bruise on my neck, where I was choked.I turn away from my reflection, unable to look at myself as it would open the memory that I want to forget. After a quick shower I head downstairs to find Xavior in his sweatpants that's hung dangerously low on his hips. His back is facing me as he is preparing breakfast.The strong sent of eggs, bacon and pancakes causes my stomach to growl in hunger. Xavior must have heard it as he turns around and gives me an amusing look. I blush in embarrassment."Good morning, princess, di
~Victoria's POVI open my eyes to see the moon shining beautifully from behind the transparent curtains. I look over to the dresser and glance at the alarm clock to see that it's past one in the morning.I turn to the other side to face Xavior, who is peacefully sound asleep, his slow pattern-like breathing brings ease to my soul. All of a sudden, the events of what happened a few hours ago makes its way sneakily into my brain.I blush at how good I felt and how loud I must have moaned his name. I get up slowly, trying to remove his arm from my waist, without waking him up. I successfully remove his arm without causing any trouble and make my way out of the bed. I find my panty and slip it on as well as my sweatpants.My throat feels awfully dry, maybe that's why I woke up, I think to myself. I make my way out of the room and head straight to the kitchen. The house is so silent that it's almost deafening. I try to walk as fast as possi
~Victoria's POV Xavior looks impatient as I stand there, not knowing what to do. "I'm waiting" he says to me in a calm yet scary tone. Apologize, maybe he'll forgive you. I think to myself as I watch him tap his foot on the floor in a rhythmic pattern. "Xavior I'm so sorry, I for-" he raises his hand as a sign for me to stop. He gets up and walk towards me. "Did I ask you to apologize or did I ask you to strip?" he looks at me with one eyebrow arched. He towers over me, his strong gaze forces me to look down. He brings his fingers to my chin and lifts my head so that we are eye to eye. Our faces are mere inches apart, he looks me dead in the eyes with nothing but seriousness. "I'm going to count to three, and if you are not out of this clothes by then...there will be consequences." I shiver in fear at his tone, he sounds so dangerous, but I cannot let this man run my life, I mean I didn't do anythi
~Victoria's POV I wake up to some loud trucks outside. I stretch my arms and yawn. I look beside me and see that Xavior is not in bed with me. I look for my phone and find it on the dresser next to the bed, it's already noon, jeez I must have been really tired. I see next to where my phone was, a note was plastered to the dresser. Had to go to work, you can do whatever you want today, but only if you tell me. I texted your mother and Jessica to come over to spend the day with you. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Xavior. I look over to the window and see the moving trucks as well as Jessica pulling up behind. I rush downstairs to go greet her as well as my mother. I jump down the stairs and open the door for them. They look around in awe when they see the interior of the house. They walk in and we head to the living room. My mother is the first to spea
~Xavior's POV*Moving day (Saturday)*I roll myself over on my side to block out the summer rays that makes its way through the curtains. I slowly open my eyes to see my beauty still fast asleep. How'd I get so lucky? I ask myself as I gaze on her beauty.Buzz buzzI look over her and see her phone light up because of a notification that came through. I carefully reach for her phone, making sure that I don't wake her up and get caught trying to snoop around with her stuff.When I have the phone in my hand, I see the numerous calls and messages from Jessica and a few miss calls from her mother. "Shit" I mutter to myself.I look back at Victoria to see her still fast asleep. I don't want to wake her up. I gently take her hand and press her thumb on the finger print scanner. When I'm in the phone I send a quick message to her friend and mother.When that
